Information point for the Point 6. Volunteers are on hand to answer your questions and help you make the most of your visit.

Watch a demonstration of objects weighing several tonnes being moved with 0.1 mm precision and see a laser scan of an industrial object. More details to come.

A proton beam circulating in the LHC can contain as much energy as a high-speed train travelling at 150 kilometres per hour, which needs to stay on track. How can we stop the beam and absorb this energy? Here you will explore the LHC 'beam dump' system.

At this stop you will be able to take the shuttle F which serves:
- Palexpo (Parkings 47 to 49)
- Point 6 : LHC
- Point 5 : CMS
- Point 4 : LHC

Take a short quiz to find out which elementary particle fits your personality best. After the quiz, you can collect a pin with your particle and compare your particle personality with others.

Take a peek into the PX65 pit, which is used to lower equipment 100 metres down into the LHC tunnel.

Is football your thing? Come here to play football with protons: the harder you kick, the more particles are produced. Try also an interactive experiment that illustrates the Higgs field through which particles gain mass, and an interactive game that shows how proton therapy works.
